A/N: Well I tried to update as quick as possible this time and I hope it was worth it! Thank you to everyone who has reviewed Trials of Eros, you guys really do inspire me while I’m writing.

“We should be reaching the hot spring soon.”

“You’ll have to be more specific, many hot springs lie around here; I don’t want us ending up at the wrong one.”

“It is the spring to the far left, next to the large pine.” Kurama instructed and Akimitsu steered the horses into the right direction.

The fox sighed; everyone but the blonde tiger demon and he were asleep. Kuwabara had fallen asleep first, slumped against the wall of the wagon, an arm draped lazily over Hiei’s waist. The fire demon had in turn curled into the human’s chest with a hand clutching the taller mans shirt. Kurama could help but smile at the peaceful looks on their faces.

“So Kurama… if it’s not too much to ask, what is the little one’s relationship with the human?” Kurama instantly felt himself stiffen at the tiger demons words.

“Why do you ask Aki?” The tiger frowned at the sternness in Kurama’s voice.

“Forgive me if I crossed a line but I do find the human… intriguing.”

“Is the first time you’ve seen a human?”

“No, but this one’s aura holds a power to it that I haven’t seen before.” Kurama relaxed, if only slightly.

“Ah, that would be because Kuwabara is a psychic, his body is directly connected with his spiritual energy since birth.”

“Really? I had always thought it was only demons who were born connected to their energy.”

“Well it is rare for humans to be born with such abilities.”

Their conversation continued for some time, simply discussing the little differences between human's and demons. Akimitsu had never had a chance to ask someone about humans and he had always been curious about the other world. Kurama was happy to answer Aki's questions, the tiger never spoke condescendingly about the humans which Kurama was grateful for. Too many demons looked down at humans; though the fox had to admit that there was a time when he did to.

Yusuke sat with his back against the large pine, his eyes barely open as he watched Kurama and a stranger approach in a wagon. It had been awhile since Kurama had contacted him on the communicator and felt relieved at the site of the fox. He hated being the only one guarding Yukina. Not that he had any problem with the ice maiden but they honestly had nothing to talk about, leaving much of their trip to the hot springs in an awkward silence.

“Hey Yukina you’ll want to come out now!” Yusuke yelled.

“C-coming!” She called back in a startled voice before crawling out from the bushes she had been hiding in.

Kurama sighed both seeing and hearing the exchange. Yusuke honestly didn’t see that his aggressive personality made the poor girl nervous. The fox had hoped that he would have been a little easier on the ice maiden.

“So, who’s the new guy?” Yusuke asked while walking up to the wagon.

“This is Akimitsu, he offered to give us a ride to Mount Yenen.”

“Sweet! I swear my feet were going to blister if we had to walk another mile.”

Kurama chuckled before helping both Yusuke and Yukina into the wagon. Both settled down at the bottom and fell asleep almost instantly. Kurama sighed; he knew it wouldn’t be long before he fell asleep as well.

The wagon ride lasted a full day and a half with the only a few short breaks in between. Most of their time was spent sleeping; Aki and Aiko would both take turns leading the horses through the thick forest. Both tigers knew the path well, having traveled many times to gather supplies for the village in the Northern Mountains. A slight bump in the road woke Kuwabara who blinked blearily in confusion when he saw the night sky.

“Jeez I mustn’t have slept much if it’s still night time.”

“On the contrary, you’ve slept a full day and half the night.” Said Akimitsu with a laugh.

“W-wait seriously?” Kuwabara asked in alarm. “I don’t think I’ve ever slept that long before.”

“It happens to all of us.”

“Yeah, happens to my sister a lot ‘cause she can turn her alarm clock off in her sleep.”

“Oh you have a sister?”

“Yeah, eight years older than me.”

“I have a brother, much younger than I am. Only five years old.”

“Really, what’s he like?”

“Very shy and caring, I fear he may not grow to be much of a fighter though to be honest I would regret it if he did.”

“Why’s that?”

“Many fighters in the village, like my cousin Aiko, they take un-necessary risks. It can lead to some serious repercussions.”

“Yeah… I guess you can only hope for the best right?”

“Very true, you may want to wake your comrades up now; we are only a few meters away from the base of Mount Yenen.”

“So soon?” Aki nodded. “Wow your horses are really fast.”

“Thank you, the leader of our village trained them himself.”

“What is your leader like?”

“Strong, fast, beautiful, and powerful, a true melanistic leopard of fire. I must admit that I would pursue his affections if he did not have a wife.” Kuwabara nodded awkwardly before turning his attention back to his friends.

He looked down at Hiei who slept comfortably; it really didn’t seem fair to wake up the small demon when he was sleeping so peacefully but he knew it had to be done. With gentle fingers he brushed Hiei’s hair away from his eyes before whispering into the little demons ear.

“Hey Hiei, it’s time to wake up little guy.”

Hiei yawned and rubbed the sleep from his eyes before he looked up at Kuwabara and a faint blush coated his cheeks.

“Where… are we?” He asked groggily.

“At the bottom of Mount Yenen.” Kuwabara answered, noting that Hiei once again looked like he had not slept.

“Are there any those hot springs near by?” It was Akimitsu who answered Hiei.

“Yes, over there in the Sakura trees you should find some, though if you need me to lead you the-“ Hiei didn’t wait to hear the end of the tigers sentence, he simply disappeared into the trees.

Kuwabara sighed before waking up the others, slightly wondering why the demon was so quick to rush to the hot springs. Everyone woke up slowly, sore from having to sleep in a cramped wagon but grateful to the tiger demons for giving them a ride and cutting off days of walking from their trip.

“Thanks for the ride Aki, good luck on the rest of your trip!” Kuwabara grinned up the tiger demon.

“And I wish good luck for yours as well, perhaps some day you will be able to see our village.”

“Yeah maybe some day.”

The group then waved good bye to the two tigers before turning to make camp, knowing they would have to venture into the ice maidens village at day break. Kuwabara quickly gathered up some wood and started a modest sized fire for Kurama to cook a small dinner on.

“Kuwabara, may you fetch Hiei? Dinner is almost ready.”

“Yeah no problem.” He said while brushing some dust off his jeans before walking towards the hot springs.

Hiei groaned before a shudder wracked through his aching body. He had hoped the warm water would help calm his heat but it only seemed to be getting worse. With even the slightest movement a searing pain would rip through his body and cause all his muscles to tense at once. It was by far the worst heat in his life; he almost wished he had taken Kurama’s warning seriously. He considered himself lucky that he had made it to the waters edge before the pain became unbearable. If he hadn’t he would have drowned.

“Hey Hiei where are you?” He heard Kuwabara yell from a distance.

Another shudder shook Hiei but this time with fear. He didn’t want the human seeing him in such a weak state. The grass gave way as Hiei desperately clawed at the ground, trying to lift himself from the water, but too no avail. A small whimper left his lips as he slipped back into the lukewarm spring while hearing the sound of foot steps getting closer, the water slowly rising past his neck as he had no way to stop from sliding under the waters surface.

“Hiei!” A strong pair of hands pulled the small demon from the water and he shivered as the cold air hit his wet skin. “Jesus man you’re shaking a lot.”

It was true; the demons body trembled violently as Kuwabara held him. The human quickly shrugged off his jacket and wrapped it around Hiei. He frowned when the demon gave him no response. Kuwabara had expected a lot of yelling or at least a little squirming. He lifted Hiei's chin and flinched, the demon had once again passed out because of his heat. Kuwabara sighed; he knew what he had to do. With the small amount of spirit energy he had left concentrated Kuwabara attempted to reach back into Hiei's dreamscape. The only problem was, he couldn't find one.

Hiei blearily opened his eyes in confusion. He was lying on his side, curled into the fetal position, and everything was pitch black.

"So you've hidden us from the human?" A deep clam voice echoed through the darkness.

"Precisely, besides if he does detect us I'll just zap 'em with a bit of energy." A high voice answered with a more wicked tone to it.

Hiei sat up and squinted, trying to see where the owners of the two voices were but all he could see was the same murky black that surrounded him.

"Shush now, our visitor is awake."

A bright light suddenly blinded Hiei and he had to shield his eyes with his arm. A shrill laughed filled the air and he growled. The laughter abruptly stopped and Hiei tensed as a silence stretched through the air. Without warning something tackled Hiei from the side sending both the demon and his attacker tumbling. When they finally came to a stop Hiei could only stare upwards with wide eyes as his Jaganshi self stared back with a sinister smiled stretched across his face.

"Hello my conflicted little friend." He laughed with the same high voice as before.

"W-what the hell is going on!" Hiei yelled in panic, the Jaganshi had effectively pinned him down and was hovering over him with a devious look in all of his eyes.

"Oh sweetie don't be afraid just let us ... take care of you." The Jaganshi then descended, nipping Hiei's neck harshly before lapping at the soft and bruised skin while using his hands to fondle the demons chest with his thumbs rubbing circles on the small demons pert nipples and making him gasp.

“G-get off me!” He managed to say before a slight moan escaped him.

“Mm but you taste so lovely.” The Jaganshi said with a lick before looking into Hiei’s eyes. “And besides, you make the nicest little noises.” He purred while kneading the demon’s package in the palm of his hand.

Another moan left Hiei’s lips and he struggled to free himself from the Jaganshi’s grasp. Then his doppelganger lay flat against him, arms wrapped tightly around his waist as he kissed his face and neck.

“That’s enough little one.”

The Jaganshi made a whining noise but obeyed the deep voices owner and crawled off Hiei. Slowly Hiei got up from the ground too stand, though he supposed he couldn’t really call it ‘ground’ since everything was the same monotone shade of black. Everything except for the cold silver light that came from above, illuminating him and the two other figures in the ‘space’. In front of him sat his Jaganshi form, legs crossed, drawing imaginary circles on the ground with his index finger. Hiei sneered, to him the green demon in front him was impulsive, relying to heavily on his emotions and not enough on skill, overall the green demon was weak. If Hiei had not been drained of energy from his heat he knew that he could have easily destroyed the other.

“Do not look down on him demon.”

Hiei jumped slightly as a man with long hair appeared beside him. Again he was struck with surprise at how much the other man looked like himself. The man was tall, twice the height of Hiei with piercing violet eyes and midnight black hair. Streaks of snow white spread through his bangs in a star pattern, framing the aristocratic features of his face. While the Jaganshi only wore a pair of pants and shoes that matched Hiei’s, the other man wore a suit of cobalt robes which could rival any nobleman’s with its fine silk.

“Who the hell are you two, and why should I care?” Hiei spat harshly, not letting his nervousness show.

“My name is Kuromasaru, I am the dragon that resides in your right arm and that one over there is the spirit of your Jagan eye.”

Hiei froze; he couldn’t believe what he had just heard. He looked down at his arm and was shocked. The dragon tattoo was no longer wrapped around his arm nor did he feel the familiar bandage that usually covered his Jagan wrapped around his forehead. He hesitantly lift his hand up to his face, gently feeling the spot that his Jagan once resided. Dizziness welled inside Hiei and he felt his knees grow weak before giving out from under him. Kuro caught him under the arm.

"There is no need to worry young demon, it is only in this space that you lack our powers." Hiei shook his head in disbelief.

"What and where is this space exactly?"

"You made this space Hiei, years ago when chose to lock away pieces of yourself, then you locked it deep inside the quietest part of your sub-conscious and then you locked both the Jagan and I here while you freely used our powers without a care." The dragons grip suddenly turned painfully and Hiei cringed. "Understand this now Hiei; I do not like you, I find you to be an egotistical brat. The only thing that keeps me from truly hating you is pity." A growl ripped from Hiei's throat as he wrenched his arm away from the dark haired man.

"Pity!" He spat. "There is no reason for something like you to pity me!"

"Oh really? I have no reason to pity a creature who isolates himself despite craving the acceptance of others? No reason to pity the boy who was torn away from his mother and twin sister as a baby to be cast away to die? No reason to pity the child you was hurt so terribly by the very bandits that adopted him? I know of all your thoughts and memories Hiei now can you honestly say that I have no reason to pity you!"

Hiei took a few steps back, struck speechless by the furious dragon. He could only stare back at the dragon with a venomous glare as the taller man crossed his arms in defiance. A small tug on his pant leg made Hiei break his gaze to look down. The Jaganshi had gently curled his arms around Hiei's leg and rested his head against him in a comforting jester. Hiei growled.

"Get the hell off me you disgraceful little imp!" He yelled before kicking the Jaganshi away, sending him sprawled on his back a meter and a half away.

The Jaganshi sat up slowly, a small whimper leaving him as a sharp pain echoed from his ribs. Tears fell from the Jaganshi's main eyes as he tried and failed to choke back a sob. He then tucked his knees up to his chest and hid his face in shame as he cried quietly. Hiei was once again struck speechless. A well of guilt lodged itself in his throat as he saw the Jaganshi cry. Kuromasaru only sighed before walking over to the Jagan and kneeling beside him so that he could wrap his arms around the green demons small shoulders. Said green demon sniffed slightly before curling into the dragons embrace.

“Do not be so harsh towards your Jaganshi Hiei; he is your only way out of here after all.”

“T-that thing molested me as soon as I woke up!”

“Your Jaganshi experiences the emotions that you refuse to, and since you use so much self control to do so, your Jaganshi has very little of his own. He had been more than eager to finally meet you and well… his affections for you clouded his judgement.”

Hiei huffed before squinting up at the cold silver light that shone down at them. He knew he had to get out of here; Kuwabara had been searching for him before he blacked out. The human had probably found him by now and Hiei shuddered as he remembered that he had been bathing moments before. It took all his will power to not think about how pathetic he must have looked and instead tried to figure out a way on how to get out of the space. He looked down at the Jaganshi and a sudden realization made him glare.

“You brought me here.” Hiei growled.

The Jaganshi flinched but nodded.

“The-there’s something’s you need to know before I let you go back,” Hiei crossed his arms in impatience while the Jaganshi finally stood and wiped away the few tears that still clouded his vision. “You have been only feeling a fraction of your heat and I have been experience the rest of it.”

Instantly a jumble of thoughts clouded Hiei’s mind as he tried to make sense of what he had just heard. His heat had been nothing but torment for the past few days, constantly eating away at his energy and self control. It seemed impossible to him that what he had been experiencing was only a mere fraction of what he should have been feeling.

“Exactly how much of my heat are you keeping from me?”

“Well I tried to keep as much as I could so you should only be feeling a little under a tenth of what I get.”

Hiei froze, if it wasn’t for his Jagan, he knew that his constant refusal to listen to his heat would have killed him a long time ago.

“How is it that you’ve been able to survive so long in this space?” The Jaganshi suddenly smiled.

“Well I’m sure you’ve noticed those nice little fantasies that keep popping into your mind, Kuro and I have plenty of fun making up those lovely little scenarios in hope that you take the friggin’ hint and get laid!” He yelled with sudden frustration.

“Do not yell at me!” The Jaganshi simply dismissed Hiei’s warning with a wave f his hand.

“Like you can do anything about it, anyways what I’m getting at is that Kuro and I have been using our power to hold back your heat in hopes that it would make finding a mate for you easier but now it’s getting to be too strong for us to take upon ourselves. When you wake up from here, you will feel the full force of your heat crash upon you which probably means you’ll go rabid for awhile before you finally calm down again. This is the last night of your heat sweet heart but in all honesty you’re not likely to… make it.” The Jaganshi let his voice trail off sadly as he looked down at his feet, a few more tears falling from his eyes.

“And if this heat doesn’t kill me?”

“Then we will once again be taking a fraction of your heat upon ourselves but this time for a price.”

“A price? What exactly are you trying to pull here?”

“I think of it less as a price and more as a fair trade. For one day out of your week of heat you let either me or Kuro here take over body as our forms that you see before you.” Hiei stiffened instantly.

“Why on earth would I agree to let either of you take over my body, there’s no telling what type of mischief you would get into and I’m not exactly trusting of the dragon either.”

“Pfft neither of us would wander or cause any mischief, we merely want to stretch our legs once in awhile instead of staying trapped in this space until the end of your days. “ Hiei sighed in exasperation, he saw no way out of his situation.

“Fine, but the deal is off as soon as either of you slip up.” The Jaganshi pumped both fist in the air with a victory shout.

“Great!” He then paused before a look of adoration came over him. “The human found us, he’s worried about you, so sweet of him.”

“What is he saying exactly?” Kuromasaru asked.

“Well he found Hiei unconscious and I’m just filling him in on the whole situation through the telepathic link he created, he’s being so kind. Hiei I don’t know how you can keep your hand off him!” Hiei growled and the Jaganshi laughed. “Oh don’t get so defensive over your little crush, I for one completely approve of your affections for the human. He’s stronger than any other human I know of, he can defend himself when needed, he’s not afraid to show his true emotions, he has a kind heart, and I don’t even have to mentions those delicious muscles of his, I might start drooling.”

Hiei rolled his eyes in disbelief at the creature in front of him; he couldn’t believe the green demon could be his Jagan.

“Well that’s simple Hiei, before I became you’re third eye I had been my own Jaganshi demon.”

Hiei froze, the Jaganshi had just responded to his thoughts, meaning that through his entire time in the space the Jaganshi had been hearing all of his thoughts. A wave of guilt suddenly caught Hiei as realized that the Jagan had heard all of the insulting things he thought of the Jaganshi. In return the Jaganshi only smiled kindly before hugging Hiei close to him.

“You know, I can’t remember what my original demon form looked like,“ He whispered sadly. “I can’t even remember what my name was. All I know is that I was a Jaganshi with a mother and sister; all three of us had been captured by a demon named Chourin who stole our eyes. First she took our amplifying eyes from our bodies, then she took our soul eyes, the last thing I remember of my mother and sister was seeing their limp bodies hanging from chains, then I woke as a Jagan eye inside a glass jar being sold at auction to a demon doctor you tried to implant me into demons who desired the power I could offer. I was so filled with rage; I killed every single one of them as painfully as I could, making sure they never saw the light of day again, just like my family. Then… you came along Hiei and like the others, as soon as the doctor implanted me, I tried to kill you. But then I saw you memories flashing before your eyes, such heart breaking memories, I knew that I could never hurt you again. So I became your Jagan eye and stayed dormant here, helping you the best I could but… it’s not enough anymore Hiei. S-so find someone for yourself, even if it’s for a little while, just make yourself happy…okay?”

Hiei nodded solemnly before hugging the Jaganshi back who was once again crying.

“There is nothing to cry about…” Hiei tried,” Kurama has been giving me a slight remedy for my heat, it should help me survive the night.”

The Jaganshi nodded before looking into Hiei’s eyes.

“For your sake Hiei… I dearly hope you are right. When you wake up Kuwabara will be there waiting for you. It would be best if you were to explain exactly what is happening to you.”

“But I thought you-“

“I only told him that Kuro and I needed to have a chat with you, it is your job to tell him the rest.” Hiei nodded in understanding.

“Will you ever be bringing me back here again?”

“Only if you want to visit us again, now it’s time for you to go, “He kissed Hiei on the cheek. “And I wish you good luck.”

And with that said, Hiei felt a pull at the back of his mind as the space was suddenly whisked away from his vision. He knew it wouldn’t be long until he woke up with his heat once again threatening his life.

~*~
